CLIMATE CONTROLLED SEATS
(IF EQUIPPED)
Heated Seats
WARNING: People who are unable
to feel pain to their skin because of
advanced age, chronic illness, diabetes,
spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol
use, exhaustion or other physical
conditions, must use caution when using
the heated seat. The heated seat may
cause burns even at low temperatures,
especially if used for long periods of time.
Do not place anything on the seat that
may block the heat, such as a blanket or
cushion. This can cause the heated seat
to overheat. Do not puncture the seat
with pins, needles or other pointed
objects. This damages the heating
element and can cause the heated seat
to overheat. An overheated seat may
cause serious personal injury.
Note: The heated seats switch on during a
remote start if they are enabled through the
information displays. See General
Information (page 111).
Note: The heated seats may also switch
on when you start your vehicle if they were
on when you previously switched your
vehicle off.
Note: Do not do the following:
• Place heavy objects on the seat.
• Operate the seat heater if water or any
other liquid spills on the seat. Allow the
seat to dry thoroughly. Press this symbol to cycle through the
various heat settings and off. More
indicator lights indicate warmer settings.
Ventilated Seats
Note:
The ventilated seats switch on during
a remote start if they are enabled through
the information displays. See
General
Information (page 111).
Note: The ventilated seats may also switch
on when you start your vehicle if they were
on when you previously switched your
vehicle off.
Note: Do not do the following:
• Spill liquid on the front seats. This may
cause the air vent holes to become
blocked and not work properly.
• Place cargo or objects under the seats.
They may block the air intake causing
the air vents to not work properly.
The ventilated seats only function when
the engine is running. Press this symbol to cycle through the
various ventilation settings and off. More
indicator lights indicate higher fan speeds.
If the engine falls below 350 RPM while
the ventilated seats are on, the feature
turns itself off. You need to reactivate it.

HomeLink Wireless Control
System
WARNING: Make sure that the
garage door and security device are free
from obstruction when you are
programming. Do not program the
system with the vehicle in the garage. WARNING:
Do not use the system
with any garage door opener that does
not have the safety stop and reverse
feature as required by U.S. Federal
Safety Standards (this includes any
garage door opener manufactured
before April 1, 1982). A garage door
opener which cannot detect an object,
signaling the door to stop and reverse,
does not meet current federal safety
standards. Using a garage door opener
without these features increases the risk
of serious injury or death.
Note: Make sure you keep the original
remote control transmitter for use in other
vehicles as well as for future system
programming.
Note: We recommend that upon the sale
or lease termination of your vehicle, you
erase the programmed function buttons for
security reasons. See Erasing the Function
Button Codes
later in this section.
Note: You can program a maximum of
three devices. To change or replace any of
the three devices after it has been initially
programmed, you must first erase the
current settings. See Erasing the Function
Button Codes
. The universal garage door opener replaces
the common hand-held garage door
opener with a three-button transmitter
integrated into the driver
’s sun visor.
The system includes two primary features,
a garage door opener and a platform for
remote activation of devices within the
home. You can program garage doors as
well as entry gate operators, security
systems, entry door locks and home or
office lighting.
Additional system information can be
found online at www.homelink.com,

assume you will be programming HomeLink
that was not previously programmed. If your
HomeLink was previously programmed, you
may need to erase your HomeLink buttons.
See
Erasing the Function Button Codes.
Note: Put a new battery in the hand-held
transmitter. This helps ensure quicker
training and accurate transmission of the
radio-frequency signal.

Guarding Against Exhaust Fumes
WARNING: Exhaust leaks may
result in entry of harmful and potentially
lethal fumes into the passenger
compartment. If you smell exhaust
fumes inside your vehicle, have your
vehicle inspected immediately. Do not
drive if you smell exhaust fumes.
Important Ventilating Information
If you stop your vehicle and then leave the
engine idling for long periods, we
recommend that you do one of the
following:
• Open the windows at least 1 in (3 cm).
• Set your climate control to outside air.
ENGINE BLOCK HEATER
(IF
EQUIPPED) WARNING:
Failure to follow
engine block heater instructions could
result in property damage or serious
personal injury. WARNING:
Do not use your heater
with ungrounded electrical systems or
two-pronged adapters. There is a risk of
electrical shock. WARNING:
Do not fully close the
hood, or allow it to drop under its own
weight when using the engine block
heater. This could damage the power
cable and may cause an electrical short
resulting in fire, injury and property
damage. Note:
The heater is most effective when
outdoor temperatures are below
0°F
(-18°C).
The heater acts as a starting aid by
warming the engine coolant. This allows
the climate control system to respond
quickly. The equipment includes a heater
element (installed in the engine block) and
a wire harness. You can connect the
system to a grounded 120-volt AC
electrical source.
We recommend that you do the following
for a safe and correct operation:
• Use a 16-gauge outdoor extension cord
that is product certified by
Underwriter ’s Laboratory (UL) or
Canadian Standards Association
(CSA). This extension cord must be
suitable for use outdoors, in cold
temperatures, and be clearly marked
Suitable for Use with Outdoor
Appliances. Do not use an indoor
extension cord outdoors. This could
result in an electric shock or become a
fire hazard.
• Use as short an extension cord as
possible.
• Do not use multiple extension cords.
• Make sure that when in operation, the
extension cord plug and heater cord
plug connections are free and clear of
water. This could cause an electric
shock or fire.
• Make sure your vehicle is parked in a
clean area, clear of combustibles.
• Make sure the heater, heater cord and
extension cord are firmly connected.
• Check for heat anywhere in the
electrical hookup once the system has
been operating for approximately 30
minutes.

•
Make sure the system is unplugged and
properly stowed before starting and
driving your vehicle. Make sure the
protective cover seals the prongs of the
block heater cord plug when not in use.
• Make sure the heater system is
checked for proper operation before
winter.
Using the Engine Block Heater
Make sure the receptacle terminals are
clean and dry prior to use. Clean them with
a dry cloth if necessary.
The heater uses 0.4 to 1.0 kilowatt-hours
of energy per hour of use. The system does
not have a thermostat. It achieves
maximum temperature after
approximately three hours of operation.
Using the heater longer than three hours
does not improve system performance and
unnecessarily uses electricity.

3.
When you are finished driving, come to
a complete stop.
4. Move the transmission selector to park
(P).
The instrument cluster displays the current
gear.
Park (P)
With the transmission in park (P), your
vehicle locks the transmission and
prevents the wheels from turning. Always
come to a complete stop before putting
your vehicle into and out of park (P).
On a console shifter, when the ignition is
turned off, your vehicle automatically shifts
into park (P). If the ignition is turned off
when the vehicle is moving, it first shifts
into neutral (N) until it comes to a
complete stop. Your vehicle then shifts
into park (P) automatically.
The electric parking brake may apply when
you shift to park (P) without the brake
pedal fully pressed. The electric parking
brake applies when you shift to park (P)
on large slopes. The electric parking brake
releases with the drive away release
function or manually as described in the
Releasing the Electric Parking Brake
section. See Electric Parking Brake
(page 212).
Automatic Return to Park - Console
Shifter
Note: This feature does not operate when
your vehicle is in Stay in Neutral mode or
neutral tow. Your vehicle has a feature that shifts into
park (P) when any of the following
conditions occur:
•
You turn the vehicle off.
• You open the driver door with your
seatbelt unlatched and the vehicle
stopped.
• You unlatch your seatbelt when the
driver door is open and the vehicle
stopped.
If you turn your vehicle off when moving,
your vehicle first shifts into neutral (N) until
it comes to a complete stop and then shift
into park (P) automatically.
Note: If you have waited an extended
period of time, 2-15 minutes before starting
your vehicle, unlatching your seatbelt can
cause this feature to turn on, even with the
driver door closed.
Note: This feature may not work properly
if the door ajar switch is malfunctioning. If
your door ajar indicator does not illuminate
when you open the driver door or the
indicator illuminates with the driver door
closed, see your authorized dealer.

To deactivate the tow haul feature for
column shifter and return to normal driving
mode, press the button on the gearshift
lever twice. The indicator light deactivates
when the system turns off. Tow haul mode
also deactivates when you power down
your vehicle.
To deactivate the tow haul feature for

SelectShift™ Automatic
Transmission
Your vehicle is equipped with a SelectShift
Automatic transmission. The SelectShift
Automatic transmission gives you the
ability to change gears up or down without
a clutch as desired.
In order to prevent the engine from running
at too low of an RPM, which may cause it
to stall, SelectShift still automatically
makes some downshifts if it has
determined that you have not downshifted
in time. Although SelectShift makes some
downshifts for you, it still allows you to
downshift at any time as long as the
SelectShift determines that damage to
the engine does not occur from
over-revving.
Note: Engine damage may occur if you
maintain excessive engine revving without
shifting. The SelectShift Automatic transmission
feature has two modes: Progressive Range
Selection (PRS) and M mode.
Progressive Range Selection - PRS
Progressive Range Selection gives you the
ability to lockout gears from the automatic
shifting range. This may provide you with
an improved driving experience, for
example, in slippery conditions or when
experiencing a steep slope.
With the transmission selector in drive (D),
push the – button to active PRS. The
available and selected gears are indicated
on the instrument cluster.
All available gears display with the current
gear indicated. Push the – button again to
lock out gears beginning with the highest
gear. Example: push the – button twice to
lock out 10th and 9th gears. Only the
available gears are displayed and the
199
Expedition (TB8) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201708, Third-Printing- TransmissionE252861
transmission automatically shifts between
the available gears. Push the + button to
unlock gears and allow the transmission
to shift to higher gears. The transmission
shifts automatically within the gear range
you select.
Manual (M)
Pushing the manual (M) button on the
selector allows you to manually select the
gear you desire. Only the current gear is
displayed. Use the buttons on the
transmission selector to manually select
gears. Push the + button to upshift or the
– button to downshift. Once in Manual
mode, press (M) again to deactivate
manual control.
SelectShift does not automatically upshift,
even if the engine is approaching the RPM
limit. It must be shifted manually by
pushing the + button.
Brake-Shift Interlock
WARNING: When doing this
procedure, you need to take the
transmission out of park (P) which
means your vehicle can roll freely. To
avoid unwanted vehicle movement,
always fully apply the parking brake prior
to doing this procedure. Use wheels
chocks if appropriate. WARNING:
If the parking brake is
fully released, but the brake warning
lamp remains illuminated, the brakes
may not be working properly. Have your
vehicle checked as soon as possible.
Note: Do not drive your vehicle until you
verify that the brake lamps are working.
Note: See your authorized dealer as soon
as possible if this procedure is used.
Note: For some markets this feature is
disabled. Your vehicle is equipped with a brake-shift
interlock feature that prevents moving the
transmission from park (P) when the
ignition is in the on position and the brake
pedal is not pressed.
If you cannot move the selector out of park
(P) with the ignition in the on position and
the brake pedal pressed, a malfunction
may have occurred. It is possible that a
fuse has blown or your vehicle
’s brake
lamps are not operating properly. See Fuse
Specification Chart
(page 314).
If the fuse is not blown and the brake
lamps are working properly, the following
procedure allows you to move the gearshift
lever from park (P):
1. Apply the parking brake and start the engine before performing this
procedure.
2. Locate your brake-shift interlock access slot. The slot is located in your
center console storage bin. The access
slot does not have a label. 200
